Honors and Awards

2003-2004 School Year

Congratulations to the Pride of the Valley on the most successful marching season since Midland Valley moved to 3A!   

After hosting 20 bands for our own Mustang Classic, the Pride swept the 3A division awards at Music in Motion, won the Spirit Award, and won a check for $1000 as the Red Division (3A-4A) Grand Champions.  Summer Rains had the highest drum major score for the day, and The Pride also scored the highest for visual execution and overall effect.  The Pride followed that performance with a third place finish, marching as a 4A band, at the Ridge View Tournament of Bands.  Summer was named the night's best drum major in 4A.

On October 18th, the Pride became the 2003 South Carolina 3A Lower State Marching Champions, defeating 15 bands in an event held at Midland Valley.  

The next week, the Pride finished fifth at the 3A state finals.  It was Midland Valley's best ever finish in 3A state finals, and the highest 3A finals score ever for the Pride.

Midland Valley received a superior rating for every performance, with scores of 95.425,  85.365, 93.3, and 92.15.  

The Pride of the Valley took home all the trophies at the Barnwell Music in Motion competition on October 4.  The Pride swept the 3A division awards, won the Spirit Award, and won a check for $1000 as the Red Division (3A-4A) Grand Champions.  The Pride scored 95.425, just behind White Division Grand Champion Gilbert High School.  Summer Rains had the highest drum major score for the day, and The Pride also scored the highest for visual execution and overall effect.
